16 X Games gold medals speak to just how accomplished Pastrana is. He won his first medal in 1999. Fittingly, it was the first ever MotoX Freestyle event in the X Games.

Pastrana helped to make X Games what it is today. Still, he remains only 27. Pastrana has a great legacy to leave behind when he chooses to move from the X Games and into one of the many facets he has demonstrated a level in expertise in.
